Belgian design label Stan Editions launches his first scented candles
The Belgian label Stan Editions is expanding its range with the launch of its first scented candles, a collection developed in collaboration with a perfume house in Grasse, the cradle of perfumery in France.
Stan Editions was founded in 2021 by Belgian designer Stan Verstraete and initially became known for its unique concept of modular candles, CANDL STACKS, which allow anyone to compose their own sculptural candle holders.
The scented candles complement the collection of vases, diffusers and modular candles, continuing the blend of design, craftsmanship and sensory experience.
Scented candles
For this first fragrance line, Stan Editions unveils three scents: Floral Allure, Tobacco Vanilla, and Honey Blossom. Over the coming months, more fragrances will be introduced. All of them are developed and produced in Grasse, with a focus on achieving a subtle balance between olfactory artistry and artistic creativity.
“With this new collection, we want to help people express their creativity within their interior space. It starts with a calming home environment, where scents are woven into rituals and everyday life.”
— Stan Verstraete
The candles are presented in ceramic holders made in Portugal. The holders are designed as durable objects that can be given a second life once the candle has burned out—serving as miniature vases, storage dishes, sculptures, or design pieces. Each item fits within Stan Editions’ flexible and creative philosophy.
“In the future, we want to take this even further and are working on various collaborations with other creatives.”
— Stan Verstraete
The scented candles, as well as the ceramic collections and CANDL STACKS, are available online and can already be found in a selection of international stores, including The Conran Shop, BHV Marais (Paris), Fondation Louis Vuitton, Kunsthaus Zürich, Piet Moodshop (Ghent), Blender Stores (Brussels) and Mayfair (Brussels).
In January 2025, Stan Editions will present the collection at Maison & Objet in Paris.
Ceramic candle prices range from €45 to €165.
The three fragrances
- Floral Allure
A graceful and contemporary blend that opens with fresh rose petals and delicate florals. A soft, musky heart note adds elegance and warmth, supported by a base of creamy woods and subtle spices. Feminine, inviting, and timeless.
- Tobacco Vanilla
This mysterious and warmly addictive scent fills the room with dark tobacco, creamy vanilla, and sweet spices. It evokes the intimacy of a dimly lit lounge, where polished wood, sweet resins, and traces of an old-world cologne linger in the air. A deep amber base persists, enveloping the space with a discreet yet powerful presence.
- Honey Blossom
A delicate yet captivating blend reminiscent of the golden warmth of spring. Honey Blossom opens with a subtle sweetness, unfolds into a lush bouquet of white blossoms, and settles into a comforting, lightly resinous base. Like a sunbeam filtering through blooming branches, it brings softness and serenity into any interior.
About Stan Editions
Stan Editions was founded in 2021 by Belgian designer Stan Verstraete and first gained recognition for its unique concept of modular candles, CANDL STACKS, which allow anyone to assemble their own sculptural compositions. A project at the intersection of design and art, where colours and shapes evoke Mondrian, Rothko, or Sottsass. The brand quickly attracted international attention and is now sold at Galeries Lafayette, Printemps, the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Kunsthaus Zürich, Liberty London, and Tate Modern.
In 2025, Stan Editions expanded its universe with its first ceramics line, produced in Portugal, designed as modular, combinable, and collectible sculptures.
For Stan Editions, it’s not only about design objects — it’s also about the experience and energy they bring into the home.
"We often fail to realise how much our surroundings influence us. A vase, a candle, a thoughtfully set table — they are more than just objects. They are signals that shape our mood, spark our creativity, and give meaning to the moments we live."
— Stan Verstraete
The new collection invites us to look consciously at the objects around us. A scent can transform the atmosphere of a room; a carefully chosen diffuser can anchor a morning ritual, while a playful composition of vases can quite literally bring a space to life. In this way, the home becomes a canvas of emotions, ideas, and memories. What sets Stan Editions apart is the conviction that design is an invitation to be creative yourself. Under the motto “Designed for you to be creative”, the products are not static but modular and collectable. They encourage play, reconfiguration, and expression, making the user a co-creator of an ever-evolving work.
“For me, true luxury doesn’t lie in possession, but in the space that offers potential for creativity. Whether it’s a candle you can rearrange, a vase you can use in different ways, or a diffuser that subtly transforms a room — each of these gestures is a moment of expression that sets both an interior and a state of mind in motion.”
— Stan Verstraete
Stan Editions aims to be a brand that inspires, surprises, and connects: a creative companion that helps transform every interior into a personal world.
